Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Apache CXF before 3.3.4 and 3.2.11 does not restrict the number of message attachments present in a given
 message. This leaves open the possibility of a denial of service type attack, where a malicious user
 crafts a message containing a very large number of message attachments. From the 3.3.4 and 3.2.11
 releases, a default limit of 50 message attachments is enforced. This is configurable via the message
 property "attachment-max-count". (CVE-2019-12406)
